Roger reported plenty of refreshing southwesterly breezes allowed for a relatively quick drift this morning on the half day. The anglers aboard managed a mix of nice keeper fluke up to 5 lbs and some nice size sea bass. Nothing to take a banner out for but respectable nonetheless. The most and biggest fluke were once again caught on rental rod set ups. This afternoon’s trip saw more of the same. Half day trips tomorrow set sail on the Admiral Frances at 8 am and again at 1pm.
Capt. Matt reported some tough conditions greeted full day fluke and sea bass enthusiasts today. The anglers aboard did manage to chip away at some nice fluke to six pounds and a few handfuls of sea bass despite the fast and sporty drift conditions. Sandy and Cyrus however did just fine today amassing several nice size fluke apiece on their whole squid set ups. Sandy and Cyrus, longtime regulars from Hopwell Jct NY/Westerly RI are, among the most consistent rod handlers that sail the Frances Fleet. Well done once again guys!! Tomorrow the weather looks great and Capt. Rich will be ready to set sail at 7 am aboard the Gail Frances.
